Read More3K RazorBook 400 Mini Notebook – small cosy subnote looks fancy, starts fast
The 3K RazorBook 400 Mini Notebook Computer looks like a real computer, but shrunk in the wash to a hand friendly size. Strange how they’ve polarised portable computing into massive juggernaut laptops at one end and teeny net friendly sub-portables at the other, eh? Anyhoo, this one has all the usual…cough Asus EEE…cough features, like 7 inch TFT screen, 512 MB RAM, 4 GB solid state drive, Ethernet, WiFi and an internal dial up modem (wassat, chief?). It runs on…
Read MorePop-O-Matic Juke Box Popcorn Maker – the perfectly retro way to rock around the pop
The Pop-O-Matic Juke Box Popcorn Maker combines the gentle soothing sounds of 50’s rock and pop, with delicious tasty mouthfuls of shimmeringly healthy chrome finished popcorn. Could you ask for more? OK, so it doesn’t actually *play* music, but just imagine if it did. Imagine. $49.95. This classic Pop-O-Matic Juke Box Popcorn Maker combines the nostalgic look of a jukebox from a 1950s diner with the functionality of a high-tech popcorn maker. The Pop-O-Matic makes movie theater style popcorn using…
Read MoreAll-in-One Car Seat Baby Stroller – convertible baby carrier saves backs and legs
Any parent who’s ever struggled with moving a half asleep toddler from car to kerbside destination will recognise the need for a product like this All-in-One Car Seat and Baby Stroller. The unit converts from a standard car seat or booster into a four wheel baby buggy, complete with adjustable handle and rear storage pocket for those essential little bits. Oh and it will convert back again too, which is jolly handy. The seat will cope with children from 5…
Read MorePolaroid PoGo – instant Bluetooth printing from your mobile phone
We’ve been taking a look at the new Polaroid Pogo Instant Mobile Printer and it’s interesting. It’s a neat little product, a bit bigger than a deck of cards, with a rechargeable battery worth some 15 prints, Bluetooth or USB connectivity and a price point of around $150.00 (or £99.00). Read on for more…
Read More25 Inch Field Cannon – make like loud and proud with style
This 25 Inch Field Cannon makes a loud noise. Just prime it with some calcium carbide, water and trigger it with a spark from the flint mechanism and be rewarded with a flash and a boom. Or something. Check with the neighbours first, and the police second if you live near an airport, eh? $149.98. Our 25 Inch Field Cannon is our loudest carbide cannon! This cannon features an automatic charger mechanism for rapid, multiple firing plus an automatic flint ignitor. Weighing 7 lbs,…
Read MoreiMacro Extension for Firefox – automate all your repetitive tasks for free
iMacros is a neat Firefox extension add-on which lets you record your browser action for instant replay at the press of a key. It’s designed to take the hassle out of filling in forms, remembering passwords (but be careful with this one OK?) and navigating around the Web, and used wisely could probably be a real time-saver. The ultra cool thing is the ability to create a link for a macro which you can then send to friends, colleagues and…
Read MoreFlowgram – screencasting on steroids…
Flowgram is an online multimedia screencasting application which has just launched in private beta. It’s ambitious and looks very interesting in a number of ways. For one it has a fully interactive interface, which means that you can click on videos, links and things like documents and not lose your place in the screencast, just hit the backspace key! The process of creating a flowgram as they’re called is fairly simple, just enter in the URL of the page you…
Read MoreWillard Wigan – the world’s smallest and most amazing works of art?
Willard Wigan is an artist, or to be more exact a micro artist. The 57 year old sculptor, who was awarded the MBE by the Queen last year, produces pieces of work which are all but invisible unless you view them under a microscope. Put it this way, his entire 102 piece collection, painstakingly created over 40 years, could fit into a single matchbox…oh and it’s insured by Lloyds of London for £11.2 million. He calls himself a micro-miniaturist – which is…

Read More13 Port USB Hub – is more better? Or a problem?
Depending on which way you look at it, this 13 Port USB Hub is either proof of the success of USB computer peripherals in general or evidence that we’re all being drowned in a tidal wave of cheap tacky USB products which deliver no value and merely take up desk space. Your call. As I think I’ve mentioned before, I currently run 18 USB ports off three hubs, and I still ocassionally hunt around for a spare slot. Hilarious eh? Arf!…
Read MoreFlybrid Systems – building hybrid cars using flywheels not batteries
Flybrid Systems is developing an innovative flywheel based hybrid engine system which will take energy from braking and transfer it through a 60,000 rpm flywheel motion into a fuel saving boost to engine efficiency. It may sound kooky, but Jaguar are already looking at the technology and the Formula 1 racing world is also heavily invested in this type of tech. Don’t expect to see anything on the roads for a few years though, while they iron out the wrinkles. The…
